I have been down voted by "meritocracy" & "Spaminator" on 2 posts just before the 7 days when voting ends. Losing 5 hive on last one down voted.
No explanation is needed in Hive for this to accrue, which is quite unfair. I am guilty with no reprisal.
I assume these are someone's robots.
Asking those that follow me to see why this is happening //
It does not pay for me to get punished producing heart felt content just to have some prick take away my followers generous up votes.
One down vote takes away 100 up votes.
So therefore I will no longer post unless I "burn" my rewards.

Thanks to all that have followed me. It has been fun.
LETS SEE IF THIS POST GETS DOWN VOTED / OR "meritocracy" & "Spaminator" UP VOTE IT.
Dammit! That's infuriating.
Yes see if they downvote this comment I am writing now. This is a major flaw in Hive that has chased many excellent content creators away. These bots contribute "o" content. Only purpose is to punish.
Free Speak is a JOKE in Hive /
Indeed. I've seen so many chased off. It's so maddening to know neither the crime nor the punishment. Is it just 2 posts they'll kill or all posts forever. I've read all your posts and I've no idea which landmine you've stepped on.
Thanks a wonderful venue ruined by rich whales playing God /
I cannot see any reason for either of these posts being downvoted. Not plagiarized, not spam, not over-rewarded. Not both upvoted by a large account that might be getting trailed by downvotes. This type of downvote is a very bad look for Hive. Maddening!
Thank you, Hives big weakness //
Damn, sorry about that @manorvillemike.
Sorry to see this happening to you @manorvillemike! They were both terrific posts and I loved the pics! Imo those downvotes were totally unwarranted! Wishing you all the best always! 💖
Nice to see your comment be it about negative stuff. Apparently my last 2posts weren't wordy enough. I like posting pictures with few words. Think I'll do what you do just up vote. Thanks for kind words. Hope you are doing well /
I hope you'll stick through it. Enjoyed many, in fact most of your posts. I also suggest reaching out to them on discord. Spaminator does make mistakes, but also does a great job keeping a lot of the really bad spam and shit posts out of our view.
I enjoy reading the posts in Hive, great people like yourself here. Thanks for the interest and kind words. Down posting me has happened before for mainly posting memes/ Thought that was long gone. I don't like the whole Idea of downvoting especially
by a person hidden using a bot.
I've had a few of those pissy little babies downvote me in the past. I've found they generally get tired and go away after a while on their own, or after they are themselves downvoted out of significance. They don't seem to realize that it may give only give them some minute amount of short-term revenge pleasure. Like most things that enjoyment quickly fades out of their lives, becomes more work on their end, and it will eventually get pulled into their own little black hole of misery.
Watch and wait, go about your business posting and let them fade away, or move to other platforms where they can get the attention they so desperately seek. I find them to be like little 3 year old children. If they don't get enough positive attention, they'll try for negative attention out of desperation, rather than just leave the group and go elsewhere to find enjoyment like an adult.

That seems a little out of date.
Spaminator is hw's, you can ask in their discord.
I haven't determined the other one's identity in order to ask questions.
Yeah I'm guilty of using memes that thousands of others have passed along on the internet. Big crime.
Lolz, hive isn't the real world, here original content is the standard for rewards.
You can post all the recycled memes you would like, if you burn the rewards.
I know they instilled that into me awhile back. Now out of the blue down voting my pure content .. Guess they don't like how I part my hair or lack of it.
Meritocracy generally downvotes 'low effort' posts.
That's me
Here. They can't DV tips away.
The majority of stake is maintained by the oligarchy on Hive because that creates the power to govern. Hive is a plutocracy. DV's enable them to prevent distribution of stake, and they target whatever speech they don't like.
Thanks!
Yep same old same old, decentralization being controlled centrally // thanks for DV Thing// I am not technically inclined try to keep things simple as possible. I appreciate your intelligent posts valued-customer //
This is very strange! The bots went berserk! Some bugs need to be fixed! There should be some ways for communication and clarification.
Don't worry @kaminchan I'' still follow you and all the others I do. I have broken their rules in the pass. I assume this just a carry over. I love your posts you put your heat and soul in them.
I hope that crazy and outdated bots would get lost in the matrix!
I love to see updates on your piles of cats! They are such polite and gentle beings with quiet considerations for others. I wish I could hear their thoughts sometimes.
They definitely enhance our lives /
Yup! I couldn’t imagine living without having cats around the house!
